SOLD. Please Delete

I was saving this for a future project that probably will never get started so I’ve decided I would offer them up for sale and maybe someone else could use them. I don’t need to sell them so no I won’t take half the asking price. What I have is a set of New std model A insert rods with std...

I have some Model B parts I was saving for a distant future project. I would like to sell as all these parts together. What I have is a Model B cylinder head that has been fluxed for cracks and resurfaced, B water pump that has been rebuilt with a leak less shaft seal, B head gasket and new...

I run a stock model A rear axle. And 35 front axle with 32 spindles and spring perches. It has 35 mechanical brakes all around.

If someone cast new drums for the 35 Ford and sold them for around $60-$75 each they would sell them. Guys are wanting $80-$100 a drum used with maybe one turn left on them that is why I’m even considering using the drums I have. .100” isn’t paper thin it is over a 1/16” and 35 drums have ribs...

What is the spec for cast drums? I have a set of 35 drums I turn and they are around 12.14” and .100 thick. I know thin. But I still might try them and keep my eye on them as they are hard to find.

I’m aware of arching shoes to fit drums. I guess I’m in the market for a new used set of front and rear 35 drums. Darn it this just got very expensive

So I was looking for the new measurement of 35 drum and it is exactly 12” or is there a variance?

Unfortunately that is what I wasn’t wanting to believe. .030” Isn’t much at at all that would most all used drums unusable.i though on mechanical brakes you set them up where the rear does a majority of the braking. I’m not Sure if 32-34 are the same?

Ok I just turned a set of 35 front drums that were rusted. And I measured them after turning them at work. To see if they were still useable. I guess I have wishful thinking that they may work 10k on my Model A sedan. My question is when the spec is .060” maximum that can be machined off doesn’t...
